by Knowles was historical, and afforded
some opportunity for fine dramatic

be admitted that Sheridan Knowles
has drawn some beautiful pictures of
womanhood. In 1.-THE Wire" he has
manifested his power of revealing the
unfathomable depths of a woman's de-
voted love in verv touching manner.
The popularity Of this pathetic drama
is still very great; and this fact alone
shows that Knowles was DO artificial

Territorial bonds to the amount of
some six hundred odd thousand dollars,
authorized by the last Legislature and
the governor for the construction Of
s',.a.::.lc buildings, have been sold and
Siy, cash turned into the territorial
treasury. OF this sum one hundred
thousand dollars, appropriated for the
construction of much needed additions
to the insane hospital of south Dakota,
will remain year at lesst in the treas
ury, because the governor refuses to
approve the plans for such
additions adopted by the board OF
trustees. The pretence of the governor
for such refusal is that some OF the trus-
tees Tor, moro properly speaking, one
OF the ex-trustees) are under charges pre-.
pared by democrats who desire the emol-
uments of the hospital. Upon its face
this is himsy pretext, in the presence
of the crying necessity for additional
accommodations at the hospital. A

at legal rates, will amount to twelve

OF q governor whose executive incom-
petency is pretty we'll conceded. A
legislature OF our earlier days would
not trust its most exalted legal talent to
breathe the breath OF life into its statutes,
but this later legislature gives
full authority to an ordinary at
torney and newspaper man,
with the endorsement of o governor, to
go through all the labored enactments
OF the past and to decide what shall be
law and what shall not be law.

from the nature of his calling, be

To the Electors of Yankton Comfy:
WHEREAS, By act of the legislature, the aues-

on the seventh standard parallel is to be sub
mitted to the electors of said Territory at the
election to be held in November next; and
WHEREAS. it beho6ves all whatever their

cal rights and PRIVILEGES of our commonwealth; /;
and
WBEhEAs. it is believed by many that these
can be best secured by division of the territory
on or near the seventh standard parallel. and
the ultimate admission into the union of two
states with their rightful representatives in
both houses of congress.
Therefore, to the end that q full and fair ell
preston of the whole people may be had at tile
polls, and pursuant TO the action of the conven.
tion held at Huron. Dakota, June 9Th. 1887, and
that Yankton county may be properly repre-

sion in south Dakota at S convention co he held

Attention is directed by the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader to g law OF the last
legislative SESSION authorizing the codifi.
cation of the statutes OF Dakota. Under
this law e, W. Caldwell, newspaper
man OF Sioux Falls. and O. Fl. Price, an
attorney of Righmore, were appointed
as compilers of the muititudinous laws
Of Dakota. The Argus-Lsader COM
ments upon the subject:
The law fully provides that they 1.-The
two compllere shall collect sll the iaws
OF the code together and compile them,
using their best judgment as to what is
law and what IS not, and also aa to the
meaning of eertain passages that may
be construed in more ways than
one Now, this
bill for the compiling OF laws
provides that after these two officers
make their report, and the same is ac-
cepted by the governor, that such re-
port, shall be and constitute the laws OF
this territory, and shall be accepted in
the courts of the territory as laws. The
question that arises is: Is not this as
signing to these two compilers q vast
ieel of responsibility? 1t means, in
short, that theBe two mon Bhall say what
is and what is not law IN this territory.
Back in the earlier days of Dakota's
experience it was considered advisable
to employ the best legal talent upon
suoh work. The first oodificat1on OF the
laws of Dakota was ratified by the leg
islature OF 1877. A previous legislature
ordered that this codification commission
be composed of the highest legal authori-
ty within the boundaries of Dakota, name.

ate Justice Ct. g. Bennett and Bartlett
Tripp (now chief iustice), together with
General w. Fl. II. Beadle as secretary OF

tlemen labored two years in perfectipe
the codification and then submitted it in
the form of report to the legislature.
I3Nhe report was adopted and through thil
process the codes of Dakota were created
and given to the people as the law o.
